Plain English

Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-81 establishes that a dwelling unit must meet all requirements set out in the relevant division before anyone may live in it, whether as an owner-occupant or as a tenant. The rule applies to both the act of moving in oneself and the act of renting to someone else. No occupancy for residential purposes is permitted until those standards are satisfied.

For Property Managers

Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-81, compliant property operators ensure that every dwelling unit meets all applicable division requirements before allowing any occupant to move in. This means conducting necessary inspections, repairs, or certifications prior to the start of any tenancy or owner-occupancy. Operators who rent out units that do not meet these standards may be found in violation of this provision.

For Tenants

Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-81 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns if they are placed in a dwelling unit that does not comply with the division's requirements, since occupancy of such a unit is prohibited under this rule. Tenants who believe their unit was not in compliance at the time they moved in may consider contacting the relevant Glastonbury municipal authority or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. This provision may also be relevant as a defense or supporting point in certain housing-related proceedings.
